It was very hard to listen to the doctors’ evaluation of
Iris’ situation. After their meeting they told the family that scientifically
they could not do anything more for Iris. All that was left to do was to wait
until all her organs stopped functioning while she continues to be in a coma. In
an impressive family meeting, this loving family accepted the medical report
knowing that our faith always has a more articulated response. Paul has put the
response very concretely: “For we know that
if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of
God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." The family
of Iris and all of us affirm this precious hope of our faith.
